‎New York NY Oxford University Press 1989. Hardcover First Ed; First Printing indicated. First Ed; First Printing indicated. Near Fine in Near Fine DJ: Both book and DJ show only minute indications of use. Book shows just a hint of shelfwear along the bottom edge of the boards; else flawless; binding square and secure; text clean. DJ shows moderate rubbing; else without notable flaw; price unclipped. Overall very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder Book-Club or Ex-Library. 8vo. 404pp. Hardback with DJ. This is a great history on the evolution of the Big Bands. Of course it also describes Benny major role in this evolution and as the book itself evolves and the Swing era comes to a close it focuses much more on him and his later years. I learned much about obscure bands and the musicians and how the music progressed. I would highly recommend this book to new students of Jazz who want to understand it's early history.

‎Duke Ellington‎

‎<p>3 very small library stamps no pocket else contents appear as unopened & unblemished in fine blue and black boards with like DJ & Poly Cover as shown. <br /></p><p> Music lovers everywhere have hailed Duke Ellington as one of the greatest geniuses of jazz. Yet aside from Ellington's own rather unrevealing autobiography and a collection of reminiscences of his band members no in-depth biography of this preeminent figure of twentieth-century music and entertainment has previously existed. James Lincoln Collier fills this gap with his definitive critical biography of both the man and his music.</p><p>Author of the highly acclaimed Louis Armstrong: An American Genius Collier tells the full story of Edward Kennedy Ellington from his childhood as the pampered and adored only son of a middle-class Washington black family to his death in 1974 when over ten thousand people mourned at his funeral and The New York Times obituary proclaimed him "America's greatest composer." The volume features such highlights as the formation of Ellington's band which ultimately included some of the greatest names in jazz history such as Barney Bigard Johnny Hodges Cootie Williams Lawrence Brown and Paul Gonsalves; his arrival at the legendary Cotton Club in Harlem in the 1920s; his involvement with his manager Irving Mills who manipulated and cheated him and even put his own name on some of Ellington's songs but also made him famous; and his relationship with his family including his troubled relationship with his son his marriage and his many affairs. Above all Collier focuses on the creation of the music from the classic songs such as "Sophisticated Lady" to the "sacred concerts" of Ellington's last years. He argues that we need to view Ellington not strictly as a "composer" but more importantly as an "improvising jazz musician." The whole band served as his instrument. Not all will agree with Collier's controversial assessments but this compelling biography will enthrall jazz buffs as well as anyone interested in a fascinating life and times. <br /></p><p>Definitive critical biography of Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington 1899-1974 --- the charismatic African American jazz composer and self-taught musician whose success spanned six decades … Though he also discusses Ellington's personal life and times Collier places particular emphasis on the evolution of Ellington's various bands and analyses of his many brilliant compositions … …. <br /></p><p>Shipping/Handling/Insurance Included Within The Continental United States.
